Mexico wants
Wall on their Southern Border
Mexican
Paper ENDORSES Border Wall, But Look Where They Want It
Without
question, perhaps the most consequential policy proposal responsible for the
success thus far in the campaign of Republican presidential nominee Donald
Trump is his call for a wall to secure the border between the United States and Mexico.
Of
course, Trump’s border wall proposal has been widely panned, not only by
liberal Democrats who prefer an open and unsecured border for political
reasons, but also by the government of Mexico as well, which has flatly rebuked the
notion that it would help pay for such a wall, which they claimed to view
as racist and xenophobic.
Imagine
the surprise then when a major newspaper in southern Mexico published an
editorial recently demanding the construction of a secure border wall — not
along the border between the U.S. and Mexico, but along Mexico’s southern
border with the rest of the Central American nations, according to Breitbart.
The piece
in El Manana lamented the fact that so many migrants from failing nations like
El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras were crossing the border into Mexico on
their way to the U.S., noting that not all of them were able to complete that
journey, ultimately staying in Mexico where they too often ended up resorting
to a life a crime to survive.
The piece
went on to argue that the construction of a wall along Mexico’s southern border
would be in the best interest of both Mexico and the U.S., as it would
significantly curb the flow of illegal migrants through both nations, potentially
negating the need for a wall along the U.S.-Mexican border.
Perhaps
unsurprisingly, that post was pulled from El Manana’s website only a day after
it was first posted on Sunday, with no explanation or notation why, only to be
reposted in its original form later in the day, Breitbart reported.
Since there was no explanation, one
can only speculate as to the mix of blowback the editorial board received from
political and cartel interests, as well as readers, leading them to pull and
then re-post the controversial call for a secure border.
Whatever their reasoning, we can’t
help but find ourselves in agreement that safe and secure borders are a good
thing and controlled legal immigration is better than unchecked illegal
immigration. If it takes a wall along a border to reach such objectives, then
we are all for it.
Please share this on Facebook and
Twitter to help spread the word that a Mexican newspaper agrees with Donald
Trump that a border wall is a great idea — only they want to build it on their
southern border with Central America.
